Publisher's Summary

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them.

With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Horrible waste of money

Way too price considering how short it was. Most of the tips in this book are paired up with horrible comparison examples. It contradicts most of the books written by the smartest entrepreneurs. Just bad

Short, sweet and simple

I haven't quite begun my business plan yet but I've had an idea for awhile. I have definitely altered some of my ideas because this book just made some much sense and I feel better about what my approach will be. I will definitely listen again as I progress through what I hope to be a successful business.

Best business book ever!

I have read a lot of business books but this one has to be the best. It really makes you rethink about business and how to run your business. No more board rooms or meetings are required or 60 hour work weeks. I live the corporate model and basically lived at the office sacrificing my life at home. I transferred that same mentality when I started my own company: successful people work, work and work some more rarely seeing their own bed or family. Not so anymore! I strongly urge you to read or listen to rework. It will change your life and how you do things.

Still Relevant

A quick, to the point, book that is even more relevant now given Covid and our ever changing world. It challenged my thinking about running a business.
